In previous years, an additional garden waste collection service has been offered on a Wednesday in Portlethen. Logistical difficulties mean that unfortunately we cannot offer the extra service this year.

Garden waste recycling facilities are also available throughout the year at all of the many Household Waste and Recycling Centres in Aberdeenshire.

The service will run until November 7.

Locations and opening times are available online: www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/waste/

To get the most up to date information on waste and recycling services, you can visit their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/AberdeenshireWaste

What do you think of the new service?
